The projected import volumes of fixed-wing aircraft with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg to the US show a significant declining trend over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 146.09 thousand kilograms in 2024, the expected imports decrease by approximately 20.5% in 2025, 25.2% in 2026, 33.2% in 2027, and a further 48.6% by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to decline, reflecting a substantial downturn in the importation of these aircraft types.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential technological advancements in lightweight aircraft that may alter import needs.
Shifts in domestic manufacturing capabilities that could decrease dependency on imports.
Changes in regulatory or economic conditions that might impact import volumes.
